Modern-Gamer writes: With the current popularity of music games still growing, bands of all sorts are trying their hardest to get in on the party. The latest band to jump on the wagon is the masters of heavy metal, Metallica. After years of touring, 12 albums, and a legion of fans behind them, the idea of melding together one of the world's most popular bands and one of the video games fastest growing genres was easy. In the newly released Guitar Hero: Metallica; fans young and old can rock out for hours and hours. Not only will Guitar Hero: Metallica introduce a new generation of potential fans but for some it might be the first time they hear any one of the 20 other bands in this celebration of hard rock. It could give a music fan a quick lesson in the Metal genre and be the perfect vehicle for future music fans. However can this ode to Metallica stand up to other music rhythm games or will it fizzle out?

In many ways video games and heavy metal go hand in hand, at least when their digits aren’t occupied with a multiplayer match and/or mind-melting guitar solo. A huge number of games revel in the savagery metal is known for, letting you eviscerate armies of enemies just as soundly as fierce riffs eviscerate mortal souls. Games like Gears of War, Manhunt, Dead Space, and Postal are all examples of carnage, violence, and destruction, so they're totally metal, right?
Brutal Legend soundtrack it's epic, probably one of the best ever. Shadows of the Damned it's awesome, so underrated, sadly.
Bayonetta and Twisted Metal are classics, i still need to play Splatterhouse.
The rumors are swirling, so The Geek Culture has a few suggestions on how Activision can bring back Guitar Hero right.
Ubisoft announced recently that it will be releasing a new guitar-based video game called Rocksmith. Unlike Guitar Hero and Rockband, this game will allow gamers to actually learn how to play the guitar rather than just pressing a set of colored buttons.
So is Rocksmith the guitar game aspiring musicians have been truly looking for?
